Folk Dances of India May 15, 2010

There are many types of dances in India, from the classical Indian dance forms, which are deeply religious in content to the lively and mirthful folk dances of India, which are danced on more trivial and happy occasions. The skilful swirling of the feet, gracefully moving the bodies to the rhythm of the highly focused soulful music, transports one to the beautiful realm of relaxing solitude! Indian dance forms are beautiful expression of the moods, celebration and gaiety of the people. At the Miller Outdoor Theatre where the audience will be more interested in seeing a variety of dances from a different culture, Folk Dances of India, will best serve that purpose. Keeping in mind that within India itself, folk dances can vary state to state, our program attempts to provide the most popular kinds of folk dances prevalent in India today!
